I can't believe you ruined that 80-86 with newer alcoa wheels. Those are not period correct like the alloy wheels it came with.

LOL, neither are the 12" King coilovers but sometimes you have to make some adjustments. Just not to the front clip for me. I actually am on the hunt for five 15 x 8 American Racing Kidney Bean wheels. So keep an eye out Philo.

Is this the style wheel you are looking for or the more common smooth ones?

Search that crap on here & you'll find it. Or, better yet, just follow the ugly...

You guys wish Tony. You guys only started calling it a girly car after I informed you that Bugs were chick cars. Chris couldn't come up with anything better so he used what I said back at me. I'll again contest that my alfa is a BLAST to drive, pulls chicks, is faster than much of what you guys have AND is worth more. It's like win, win, win, win over here

That Mickey Thomspon wheel is cool, and also super rare. I think it is forged as well. I dig those, but I am pretty sure Chris wants the OG kidney bean

Alfa Romeo's are probably the best car ever made. For three minutes after they roll out of the lot. Then they break. But its the character that counts right?

Sounds like he wants Slot Mags, not Kidney Beans.

Don't sweat it, Chris, I ruined mine the same way. Of course, when I'm feeling like a purist I can always put the stock hub caps back on.

It's more that people aren't sophisticated enough to understand how to tune them. The mechanical fuel injection that came on many of the cars here was well ahead of its time (just like much else on the car) and people don't get it. These things are racing cars with a few creature comfort added for street use.

Many people joke about the reliability of the things but I'll admit my crew cab left me stranded 500% more (5 times vs. NONE) than the alfa has. Alfa has been mine - running and neglected for 7 years now. It always starts (after a little throttle time due to the carbs) which I can't say for the crew. There is a big reason the motor came out of the crew to get a diesel in its place. I was sick of being stranded! I had to jump the coil on the POS to get the thing to start!

Steve, shut your pie hole about that crappy Alfa girly ride, you're gay-ing up my thread, lmao.
